Knee effusion, sometimes called water on the knee, occurs when excess fluid accumulates in or around the knee joint. Common causes include arthritis and injury to the ligaments or meniscus, which is cartilage in the knee. A small amount of fluid exists in normal joints.
Overview. A swollen knee occurs when excess fluid collects in or around your knee joint. Health care providers might refer to this condition as an effusion (uh-FU-zhun) in your knee joint. A swollen knee may be the result of trauma, overuse injuries, or an underlying disease or condition.

561 Pain in right knee.
Effusion is swelling that happens when fluid leaks out of a vein, artery, lymph vessel, or synovial membrane into the surrounding tissue. This causes the tissue to expand, or swell. When effusion happens in a joint — commonly the knee — excess fluid can pool in a part of the joint called the synovial cavity.
11 Unilateral primary osteoarthritis, right knee.
Exam. A knee joint effusion will demonstrate swelling around the patella and distend of the suprapatellar space. Patients may have a restricted range of motion along with pain with ambulation.
In medical parlance, swelling, turgescence or tumefaction is a transient abnormal enlargement of a body part or area not caused by proliferation of cells. It is caused by accumulation of fluid in tissues. It can occur throughout the body (generalized), or a specific part or organ can be affected (localized).
This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code R22.42 and a single ICD9 code, 782.2 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
